Important notice from the park!

LAUNCH UPDATE
Due to the moderate drought we have experienced in our area over the past two years, the lake level is lower than normal, and this is affecting boat launches.

The following launches are currently open:

• Marina
• Sailboat Launch: Left side only
• Smith Station Launch: Right side only

Please check the status of the launch before pulling down the ramp. Launch availability may change as we move into the fall and winter.

For the most up-to-date information on available launches, please contact the park office before your arrival.
